| Is an Arcade VGA card essential? |

For DOS, yes you can get away without it. AdvancedMAME + AdvancedMenu and your set. But expect a lot of time configuring everything. And you not get it in windows. But this is what everyone (who used arcade monitors) did before arcadeVGA. BUT... ArcadeVGA is a GREAT piece of hardware and I've never heard anyone wish they hadn't spent the money on it. Many people upgraded their tridents to arcadeVGA (working -> working) and STILL think it was worth it. But if you never plan on using anything other then mame. Start off cheap. You can always go back and get one later. |

thanks mate. do you need advance mame or can you get away with just dos (and a keyboard of course)? |

Can anyone tell me why when installing drivers for an arcadevga one might be getting an error saying no suitable devices found? |
| eggedd2k:
sounds like you're installing the drivers before installing the card |
| thetered:
It does sound that way, but i'm not, the motherboard doesnt have onboard video and I am only using the arcadevga card, so its the only video card installed. |
